MARKING-TAG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 379,054, dated March 6, 1888.

Application filed September 14, 1887. Serial No. 249,673. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON DANOYGER,-a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Marking-Tags; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in marking-tags, the features of which will be fully hereinafter set forth.

The object of my invention is to prevent the point of the clasp from projecting, and thereby preventing the scratching of the hands in the handling of articles to which the tag is attached. The construction is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view of the paper blank with the clasp attached. Fig. 2 is a view of the marking-tag as folded and attached to an article of merchandise. Fig. 3 is a side view of the wire clasp.

Like letters designate like parts throughout the several views.

A is a paper blank punctured at the lower end, making two holes, 8 s, and at the upper end likewise two small holes, it, to receive a wire clasp. The edges of the lower holes may be protected by metallic eyes; but this is not essential. The two ends are folded together, being bent at. the transverse dotted line. A wire clasp having the form of b, Fig. 3, is passed through the upper orifice; and in this form the tag may be attached to merchandise, which is done by passing one point through the texture, the other point or end of the stapie-shaped clasp having been bent down on the paper blank, as shown at Fig. 1. This bent end is to hold the clasp to said blank and maintain the point at a right angle to the face of the same.

In use the tag is placed over the edge of an article of merchandise, the point passing through the same and through the outer orifice of the tag, and is bent over the intervening portion between the two orifices, and the point terminating within the inner orifice. The tag is thus securely attached to an article. The point being bent down into the orifice, there is no danger of scratching the hands in handling. On the outer surface of the tag is printed such matter as may be desirable, as number, size, price, &c. The wire clasp maybe entered into the paper blank in a reverse order as to the orifices, and the holes 8 s may be angular instead of round.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

1. The marking-tag herein described, having the ends vof the blank folded together to embrace an article ofmerchandise, with a wire clasp having the ends bent at a right angle to the body and entering orifices in one end of said blank, one point bent down upon the inner surface of said blank and the other point entering an orifice of the opposite end of said blank and terminating within the other orifice, substantially as described.

2. In a folded markingtag, the clasp herein described, formed ofwire having the ends bent at a rightangle to the body, one end of which is bent down on the inner surface of the'end of said tag and the other to engage the opposite end of the same, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aifix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
